The 15-member squad led by Virat Kohli also features middle order batsman Manish Pandey, who is making a comeback to the ODI side after 2016. Yuvraj Singh, who was struggling for the form lately has been dropped from the team.

Experienced fast bowlers Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami have been rested, probably keeping in mind the option of an extra spinner in the spin-friendly Sri Lankan conditions. Manish Pandey, who had a great triangular series in South Africa has been rewarded for his performance. Rohit Sharma and Yuzvendra Chahal also got a call-up for the series starting from August 20.

Among others, those who have missed the cut are Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. The second and third matches will be played at Pallekele on 24 and 27 August followed by the final two games at Colombo on 31 and 3 September. Rohit had been rested from the tour of Windies after the Champions Trophy, the last limited-overs series India played.
